The Walsh Brothers are at it again. If you follow them on Facebook you will see how much effort that they have put into training for this event. A message to us all!!
The race was a mixture of weather conditions from 35 degree heat when they landed to 26 degrees in the Swim(plus pouring rain), cooler on the run. The Swim was different as well as this allowed a non wet suit race – this was not to their liking.
Pat finished the competition in 10hrs 15 min – a trifle disappointed as he wanted the Pro Time of 9 hrs 45 mins. Tom posted a staggering 9hrs 25 mins
Huge Well done to everyone at Colchester on Saturday particularly for covering multiple events to ensure maximum points. Preliminary results suggest the Men came 1st(ahead of Colchester by 1 point) and Women 3rd with an overall 3rd behind
Colchester and Basildon.
Here’s is how the League wrapped up. Basildon will move up a Division is leaders. Potentially, we should be on top next season if we can get more athletes at the club to participate.
